High-Risk Mega Cities Changing
Throughout human history, a population barrier seemed to exist. Whenever a metropolitan’s population crosses a particular mark, it tends to collapse due to several problems. Knowing this fact, it’s a good idea to observe population to get a heads up on which cities to avoid.
For a very long time, the population barrier seemed to hover around the 1 million mark. In fact, it’s only during the 19th century when Beijing and London successfully crossed that barrier without collapsing. However, saying that the barrier doesn’t exist is inaccurate. It’s likely that it just moved.
These days, the 1 million mark is not remarkable anymore. China alone has more than 100 cities that are home to more than 1 million residents. Also, what the general public considers … high-risk mega cities … is continually changing.
Estimating High-Risk Mega Cities
Imagine living in Tokyo 100 years ago. From one’s perspective, it’s tough to imagine how Tokyo would look like in the present times. Just as it was then, imagining how megacities will be like in 2100 can be difficult. Thankfully, there are specially-designed computers that can help simulate the scenario to give a big boost to the imagination.
Global Cities Institute, a team of analysts based in Toronto, did a lot of number crunching. With a variety of factors, the group extrapolated a list of the possible megacities for the years 2100, 2075, 2050, 2025, and 2010.
The team came up with a list of 101 cities that are likely going to be overcrowded; with it comes a higher risk of collapsing.
